The fountains of the deep are located beneath the surface of the earth. Researchers note there is sufficient water there to cover the highest mountains. I’ll get the link when I’m off my phone.

Never said the OT was carried to Japan or other places. When the people were scattered by God (Gen 11:1-9) they carried the account of what happened with them. Same with the flood.

. And the Bible is free from any moral error.

While it is not a science or history book it is accurate in those areas. The purpose of Scripture is to point us to God and ultimately to faith in Christ, and only Christ, for salvation.

The ancient cubit measurement...would almost certainly have been...

It is a guess, not an actual conversion constant. A guess. No more, no less.

That's right. The measurement from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger is an invariant universal constant, accurate to 10-12 nanometers.

Oh, good point there. I’ve seen estimates of the cubit between 18 and 21 inches.

The ancient cubit has been identified as measuring 0.5235 metres (20.6 inches)

Well now, that wasn't Noah's cubit, was it?

On Youtube, there is now a channel providing videos of what may be pre flood archeology. That is, there are very old and massive structures that some believe may predate the flood.

Clarification is required

Is that 300 Biblical or 300 Royal cubits depicted?

It kind of is for her. A social climbing, casting couch, divorced slut becomes Duchess of Sussex.

Harry is the worst cuck in history.

Floodmyths are the result of curious minds encountering fossils of sea dwelling creatures and logically concluding there wa a flood

We may not have the exact precise number down to millimeters but we have the general number.

Now, old Adam was the first in history.
With an apple, he was tempted and deceived.
Just for spite, the devil made him take a bite,
And that’s how old Adam met his Waterloo.
—Stonewall Jackson

If he had left that apple on the apple tree,
There’d be no sin or sorrow.
We’d live eternally.
—Dorsey Burnette

Really! Contrary to belief among some, there is overwhelming evidence that oceans rose 400 feet worldwide 12,800 years ago. There are many topographical and bathyscaphe maps you can peruse, were you so inclined.

Persuasive, compelling findings from paleohistory and archaeology and other branches of science refute the Bible's account of human origins and of the diffusion of humans and human culture. Yet what is not literally true in the Biblical account if taken as history and science is nevertheless true in the moral sense, that mankind is a single species, or in traditional terms, a single extended family scattered and divided by circumstances, by the hardness of life, and by human folly and wickedness.

Moreover, rejecting the Bible because it does not meet modern standards of science and history is absurd. Calling the Bible unscientific and ahistorical is not so much a criticism as a simple observation that it was composed before science and history were even developed. And, as we both agree, the Bible's purpose is moral instruction.

I have looked at the evidence for sea level rise in that time period, and that evidence shows that it was mostly gradual, with some sharp but limited rises due to the collapse of Antarctic ice sheets. Please refer me to your evidence for an abrupt 400 foot rise worldwide 12,800 years ago.

What year did the flood aupposedly take place?

The odd thing is that no secular historians credit a world-wide flood as happening.

That's unlike most of the New Testament, which their is a lot of secular support for the historicity of.
